The Gwinnett Braves are coming off a disappointing three-game road trip, losing two of three games to the Charlotte Knights. The Chicago White Sox affiliate is currently two games behind the G-Braves for first place in the International League South Division.

In fact, the Knights are now at Coolray Field for three more games with Gwinnett, as the G-Braves have payback on the mind. Tuesday night, Atlanta Braves ace Tim Hudson (1-0, 0.00) will be making his second start for the G-Braves as he inches closer to the big leagues.

Infielder Drew Sutton is currently on an 11-game hit streak entering play Tuesday night for the G-Braves. The switch-hitter is batting .258 this season with seven RBI and two stolen bases. He also added a game-winning hit to his resume, against Norfolk last week in extra innings from Coolray Field.

Righty Tim Hudsonwill be looking for a repeat performance of his masterful, five-inning win against the Norfolk Tides a week ago. Huddy will be matching up against the Knights southpaw Charlie Leesman (1-1, 5.02) from Lawrenceville, Georgia. Be sure to catch to the voice of the G-Braves Tony Schiavone as he broadcasts the game live on 550 AM, WDUN.com or 102.9 FM.
